The "less" isn't so much less when you figure in the fact that many pay no taxes and work for cash.Typically not true. They work harder for lessBecause the people that come tend to be criminals, idiots, and scumbags. There's a reason they choose to become illegal immigrants and it's not because they're intelligent, productive individuals in their countries. So when they come they tend to hurt the country more than help it by shitting out kid after kid after kid and eating up government resources.Dumb question, but one i'd like to hear the answer for.
Though I come from a position that illegal immigration is small potatoes compared to what the 1% get away with on a daily basis, and that it seems to be more of an issue of social nationalism than of any economic damage it causes, I would like to hear as many takes on this particular issue as possible. Not necessarily seeking to debate, just to get educated and understand where people come from on this, on both sides if anyone's willing.
Now that the aca is going away they'll need the moneBack in the day, American high school kids picked in the summer, not illegals.

Illegal immigration is actually not "immigration," it's illegal entry. Socialist programs get strained with a large influx of people entering illegally. A good example is Europe. Their social programs are unable to cope with the vast numbers of migrants entering from Africa and the Middle-East. Sweden has also become the rape capitol of Europe because of the teachings of Muhammad. In the U.S. our forests disappear daily, so too do our family farms, as they disappear due to urban/suburban sprawl. I'm for ending "all" immigration.
As for that 1%...well, those individuals invented products and services that the masses desire and pay for. The more the demand, the larger the business and thus the larger the amount of money that goes into the bank for the inventor/ceo/owner/president of the company. I always have to chuckle at those who squawk...."pay equality!" Well, what do they mean?? Do idiots think that some guy who dropped out of high school and flip burgers for a living, should get equal pay to an individual who went to medical school, residency and specialty training for 12 years of his or her life, or earn that 1% income for flipping burgers or waiting tables?? The concept is ludicrous. You earn the income based upon what you are trained for or create and produce.
If you believe that those who are in that 1% bracket, shouldn't make so much, I don't see any incentive for them to produce anything as there would be little profit in it.
Anytime someone talks about "illegals", what they really mean is Mexicans. Fact is, we have a lot of illegals from many other countries but the right has chosen to vicitmize Hispanicss in much the same way as they do Blacks.
Illegal or undocumented people are both good and bad for the US.
For generations, we have "used" them for the shit work we won't do for the crap money it pays and third world working conditions - wash your veggies because these people are not allowed bathroom breaks.
We also buy their drugs. Obviously, a "bad" thing but that's on us. As long as we keep buying, they'll keep selling.
The US invites them here. I've helped hundreds and almost all of them travel to the very same job every single year, then travel home and then come back the next year. They're incredibly hard working and very proud. You will never find a people more dedicated to family and community than Mexicans. The haters never see that side of them though.
Trump's wall is idiotic. It will not even slow the drug traffic and we're already seeing produce pieces go up and family farms going under.
Here's the key:
The real reason for the GOP demonetization of Mexicans is to drive American family farms out of business. Go to any auction of family farms who have gone broke and you will see that its actually really big businesses who are buying them up for pennies on the dollar. They then rent it back to the working poor who become slave labor and owned by companies like Monsanto.

Who overwhelmingly are the only group of peoples to show up at anti-illegal rallies, to fight for illegals, but Hispanics?

They pay all the same taxes you and I do.
The difference is they get nothing back.
Think it through.
Buying? Exchanges? They just go to the emergency room.Save now, pay later when you pay taxes for his or his kids' free healthcare.Now that the aca is going away they'll need the moneBack in the day, American high school kids picked in the summer, not illegals.

Any idea why undocumented CAN get SOME free health care?
You can thank Ronnie RayGun for EMTALA.
OTOH, ObamaCares still does not allow non-citizens to buy through the exchanges.
Corporations, which are treated as separate, tax-paying entities, pay corporate income tax, so I'm not surprised Trump didn't pay any on his income tax.In response to those asking me to be more specific about what the 1% get away with; if people would like more reasons, I'll be happy to give them, whether here or in PM. But I'll stick with two that will remain most relevant to the discussion at hand, that will help me form my case as to why I consider illegal immigration to be less of a problem.
We can start with tax evasion. I see a lot of arguments concerned with sovereignty and people paying their fair share into a system to get rewards out, which is understandable (though I will be honest in saying i'm not a nationalist). Considering that thought for a moment, what do corporations realistically contribute in proportion to their earnings? Our own president, a self-proclaimed captain of industry, hasn't payed corporate taxes for over a decade.
Why is he considered a savvy businessman while illegals are considered...well, illegal? Shouldn't corporations be forced to submit entirely to the goverment's needs, if immigrants must follow the same regulations to become legal citizens, and said government is supposedly of the people, by the people, and for the people?
On the concept of sovereignty: many corporations hire these illegal immigrants without a second thought. Don't tell me you haven't stayed in a chain hotel like Hilton to see someone who barely speaks a word of English cleaning rooms next to yours. The only reason these immigrants compete with lower wage workers is because people are willing to hire them. They have to be HIRED in order to earn money. And I sincerely doubt that an illegal alien from Mexico has the funds to get a fake identity convincing enough to swindle their way through every employee recruiter they meet. And because this money is often shipped out of country to their families back home: in essence, it's another way corporations get around giving their fair share to people...aka, submitting to the sovereignty of the American state and the people that it supposedly represents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At any rate, I can empathize with why people are angry at them in the economic sense. I've read as of late that they incur a total of about 110 billion dollars in costs to the American government, which in turn impacts families. But I can't help but feel as though this is an issue that is being tackled incorrectly due to all the social vitriol it causes; illegals do contribute about 18 billion in taxes per year, and I honestly think it would be a lot less of an issue if workers who were born and raised in the US, especially those in rural/small town areas that have been forgotten for so long, were treated as if they actually existed.
Which brings me to another question I have, for anyone willing to discuss; why does the US government provide special considerations for illegal immigrants and treat legitimate economic concerns of the native working class as racist? I mean that seems to be the main issue here, is money; the US has had culture shocks before from waves of immigration and withstood all of them, after all.
